What is the ape format file?

What format is ape?

Ape is one of the popular digital music file formats.

　The difference between ape music and MP3 music

Through the introduction of what the ape is, I believe you have also thought of the most important difference between ape music and MP3 music.

So generally only professional musicians can easily discern that music is MP3 good to be CD music or ape music.

Spectral graph comparison of ape and MP3 audio formats

Through the above ape and MP3 audio format of the spectral map comparison we can not be difficult to find that MP3 music in the high frequency is almost cut off, while the ape remains the original audio waveform, through the same song music audio waveform Control It is easy to know the difference between the ape and the MPE.
